The worst piece of brewing gear you have lost?

[grampamark]

I’ve been reading this thread and trying to come up with anything of significance that I’ve lost in 9+ years of brewing; I can’t come up with anything, other than the occasional o-ring. I don’t count those because I consider them disposable and keep mass quantities on hand.

You only have five kegs. The rest I loaned to you - remember?

that calls for an *animated* little yellow guy rolling back and forth, pounding the floor.

And one of the ones I **can* find is one where I cut off an inch of the draw tube and removed the gas lone, to use as a fermenter. (although I no longer remember why, and later learned that you can just ferment outright in the keg . . .)

Riptide pump washer, magnetic stir bar, and roll of Teflon tape have all been replaced only to be found later.

Cut-to-length and terminated hauling rope for lifting the bag out of the BIAB electric urn. Not where it should be at least five out of the last nine batches and resulting in having to pull out the 25m coil and untangle enough to lift the bag. The customized rope always shows up three days later. I think it's scared of the weight of the bag.
